Welcome to the Office of Dr. Fern L. Grapin! Doctor Grapin will be Retiring 12/31/2021.

After long consideration and anxious deliberation, I have decided to retire from my medical practice. The economics of the Covid Epidemic have forced me to come to this conclusion earlier than I might have without it. This will be effective 12/31/2021. 

Please arrange to have another physician take care of you. There will be a list of Ob-Gyns under the office tab -> Doctor's Referral List-> Ob-Gyns. If you have not found another provider you can always check with your insurance company’s provider directory. Once you have identified a physician or practice, please contact our office no later than 12/15/2021 to obtain copies of your medical record.

Before obtaining your medical records, You will need to fill out a Medical Records Release Form, which is found under the office tab or at your new physician’s office. Make sure you provide your name, current address, new physician or practice and their fax number and address. In accordance with Virginia Law, there will be a fee for printed medical records. The cost is a dollar per page for the first 5 pages, and 50 cents for each page after, plus postage. Payment is either cash or check. If you choose to pick up your medical records, please do so by 12/15/2021. 

I will stop taking payments from insurance companies for visits starting on 10/31/2021. We will be available to see patients afterwards through November and December. Insurance won’t be used to cover visits, patients will be held responsible for the visit, at the time of service.

It’s been an honor to have taken care of all of you. Thank you for entrusting me with your health all these years. I wish you all the best for your future health and happiness. 

Yours truly,
Fern Grapin
